Appearance is clear golden with a white head that fades fast to a ring of foam. Aroma is lactic sour, sour cherry, lemon, musty grain, and vinegar. Flavor is cereal, musty grain, lemon, sort of milky, sour cherry, white grape and more vinegar. Dry and very slick palate. About as good as it gets in Texas but its not amazing.

[2006] Murky red brown color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries, dried fruits, watermelon, bacteria and wild yeasts. Taste of berries, grapes, watermelon, dried fruits, and lighter tartness in the finish.

Pours thick unclear murky amber with a super small beige head. Aroma is a bit of funk and acetate. Flavor brings juicy and tart watermelon jolly rancher so pleasant on the palate. The body is thick but not overbearing, solid.

the beer pours a dark amber. not much aroma. Maybe a little dark fruit. A little fresh oak. Not vanilla. the first taste is of sour. Oak then comes next and stays through out. Not much malt to speak of. The beer leaves acidity in the mouth.
A delicious beer. And almost perfect. One of the best sours I have had from an american brewer.
a beer. This is definitely sour. A bout of fresh oak is apparent too! The body its petry light. Not much malt to balance the sour.

Bottle with a little tiny lable on the side. Pours out a burnt orange topped with a white head. Aroma was lots of sweetness and fruit. Taste plenty of the cherries, and apples along with some nice pucker. Thanks Toby for this one.

2008 Bottle - Thanks Toby! - Pours out dk orange with a large white head....aroma is sweet/tart, plenty of fruit and dough?...flavour is similar, light vinegar quality, cherry, apple, light malt but more sourness...this was a terrific treat, and fun to put side by side with the other NXNW sour, but it blew this one away...still, a terrific experience...

2008 bottle thanks to Toby. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large fizzy head. The aroma is sweet, but it also suggests a more acid brew. The flavor was very acidic and tart, like a Gueze almost. Funky and spicy. Nice.
